phpBB2 wasn't exactly known for security, especially earlier versions but this was the case for just about any open source project at the time. Bit of history here but when Acydburn became development leader prior to the release of phpBB3 one of the things he did was try and fix as many issues as possible with phpBB2.The one thing i always hear about phpbb from those that hate it is "its already been cracked and hacked and its totally unsafe". First of all once i got the rest of the story i discovered there was one instance back in the early 2000's that there was an issue and it was not even that big of an issue.
phpBB3 has been fairly rock solid, just look at the release list. There is three PL releases since 2007 where it was important to fix immediately. The first one for example would give access to private forum through the RSS feeds which was introduced with that release. There hasn't been any major exploits I'm aware of, e.g. SQL injection.
